MattyN Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 After loading up my old laptop, I retrieved all my old files including my old NYS Governor 2006 Scenario. I've updated it, added a nice number of candidates. Here's the list: Republicans: Mayor Rudolph Giuliani Rep. John Sweeney Lt. Governor Mary Donohue Governor George Pataki State Senator Joseph Bruno Rep. Peter T. King Fmr. Senator Alfonse D’Amato Democrats: Attorney General Elliot Spitzer Nassau County Executive Thomas Suozzi Mr. Andrew Cuomo Rev. Al Sharpton Sen. Hillary R. Clinton Independence Party: Mr. Thomas Golisano Lt. Governor Mary Donohue Mr. Anthony Orisini Mr. Michael Benjamin Greens: Mayor Jason West Mr. David McReynolds I've made the race a lot closer with a slightly weaker Independence Party, assuming the surge in the last election was a fluke and not the norm. I'll be submitting it very soon, I just want to add a few more candidates...if anyone has any ideas, tell me. And, I'm as surprised as anyone about NYC going red..I kept NYC almost 100% Democratic territory...and ran the above situation as McReynolds and did nothing...

JoSpiv Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 You also should add Sen. Charles Schumer. He has said he won't run, but in the Senario it might Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyN Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 In the last election it was ~55%-60% for McCall in the City. I think I'll increase their power a bit more there. Yea, Schumer is a good idea...people did think he was going to run and even if he says he isn't, why not toss him in for more choices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyN Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 Update: Upped the NYC Power for Dems, Added Buffalo as a separate district, added 4 more candidates: Sen. Charles Schumer Buffalo Mayor Anthony Masiello Pataki's Secretary of State Randy A. Daniels Mr. Matthew R. Newman - With massive delusions of grandeur, and even if it isn't allowed because of his age, Matthew Newman has decided to run for Governor. With no political experience, he is hoping that his youth and knowledge will swing the vote in his favor. I'm looking for 2-3 Playtesters, any takers?

MattyN Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 Bah....I already changed the scenario...I just changed some of the EVs for Buffalo and Western NY...I'll send along the corrected region files to you, Swing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swing Voter Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Well the original seemed good. I liked the choice of cantidates, I enjoyed taking every single district in the state from Mr. Newman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyN Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 Oh No...Poor Mr. Newman, who has a 1 on Experience Spitzer's a strong candidate, then again...he is in real life. You can win as either Repub or Democrat, or at least you should be able to. NYC's a bit harder to take as a Republican who isn't from there, tho...and sometimes the Independence candidates are crazy in the number of votes they get, (I occaisionally see Golisano sweep Upstate NY) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyN Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 Ahh, I just assume Spitzer since he's the default. Sent and Sent. I'm gonna hold off for now on any more beta testers until I hear some feedback. Let me know what ya think and be brutal. Leave comments here..

sarnstrom54014 Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 After one game here's my thoughts: One somewhat major flaw is that the map needs a black dot at 193,169; if you notice the default percents are always from Western NY and not the state as a whole, placing a dot there will correct this. Everything else looks great, except for some of the candidate photos are blurry (Pataki has the best photo), if you want I could help you with photos (I did all of them for Ultimate 2008), but overall they're alot better than some of them I've seen. I'll proudly give this scenario a solid A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarnstrom54014 Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Oh and one more thing, you might have done this on purpose but Pataki has more money than the rest of the candidates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyN Posted December 22, 2004 Author Share Posted December 22, 2004 Yup, did it on purpose, assuming the incumbent candidate had a slightly larger warchest for his reelection. Though, actually, Golisano has the most money. The money for Golisano is EXACTLY what he spent in the last election, assuming if he was going to run again, he'd do it right. Yea, I've noticed the issue with it focusing in on Western NY...I had no idea why it did that..I'll have to toss in that black dot, thanks for the info. The worst photo in there was Golisano, I couldn't find a good one for him, so I cut down the best one I could... Glad you liked it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
